This term, we will be learning all about ourselves.

Above is a link to our unit overview for Terms 1 and 2. We will learn our driver texts using story maps and actions to support memory.

As the children learn more phonemes, they will be encouraged to use these in their writing.

We are learning sounds using our phonic scheme ‘Supersonic Phonic Friends’.

We follow the ‘White Rose’ maths scheme.

At King’s Gate Primary School, we expect all children to read at home everyday and a minimum of four times per week.

In addition to reading, please complete any homework that is assigned on a Friday, by the following Wednesday.

Our class library slot is on Tuesday afternoon, where the pupils get to visit our school library and take out a book. Please ensure the children’s library books are in their bag every Tuesday in case they wish to change this. 

Our PE slots are on a Wednesday and Thursday, so please ensure that the correct kit is brought in on a Wednesday morning. We will then send the children home with their PE kits on Thursday for washing. If your child wears earrings, they must be removed before coming into school on these days.

We endeavour to keep you updated through our monthly newsletter, parent mail and the HomeRun app.
